Can anyone identify this bush please?

Hi there
A friend of mine wants one of these and has sent me a photo to see if I know what it is. I have posted one picture here and another on my own pictures as 'Mystery Plant'. I thought it might be a mahonia but if so I'd like to know what type it could be. She said it smells incredible.
Thanks so much for any help you can give.

Hi thank you for your suggestions so far, I think it definitely could be a berberis. Seaburngirl, I agree though, I've googled it and the leaves do not seem quite right or even the right colour. It might just be the images that are available though. I've asked my friend to google berberis and see what she thinks. I can't find any that are described as being fragrant either, are they generally fragrant shrubs?
